2-Hour Small-Group Walking Tour of Warwick

Warwick, United Kingdom

This unique guided experience takes you on a walk around the historically beautiful Midlands county town of Warwick. The 2-hour tour of Warwick is full to the brim with intriguing architecture and fascinating historical significance. Passing over the once heavily trafficked River Avon, past the world-famous medieval castle and up to the cavernous Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick truly stands out against other English towns. The tour will typically start and finish at the Tourist Information Centre in the centre of Warwick, but depending on the wishes of the group, other arrangements can be made.

Not only does going by foot provide a fascinating look at Warwick’s historical attractions, it also offers more intimate insights into the lesser known treasures of Warwick. In guaranteeing beautiful views, intriguing anecdotes and all the necessary historical detail, the tour provides a deep and important understanding of the world-famous and tranquil county town.

Your guides are local to the area and have for many years attended the local educational establishments of King's High School for Girls or Warwick Boys School, both walking distance from the historic heart of the town. Naturally such intimate contact with the town provides guides with a personal relationship with the town, making tours with them all the more authentic and unique.

As far as the exact content of the 2-hour tour is concerned, you take a look at the famous Thomas Oken Tea Rooms, examine the remnants of the Great Fire of Warwick, peak into the Friends Visiting House, pass by the Lord Leycester Hospital, marvel at the Collegiate Church of St Mary and visualise the ancient links between the medieval East and West gates of Warwick.
